What are the alternative means to save fuels?

Question

What are the alternative means to save fuels?

Answer 1

And u all miss one.

Air power.

meaning- power by surounding air.

no fueling. no charging. no solar depent. no explodsive.

the air is free.

air power and wind power is very different.remember

Answer 2

I'm not sure.

Answer 3

There two things .. 1. Saving fuel and 2 . Use of alternative fuel.

1. To save fuel use, high energy efficient devices.

    Like, use appropriate electric motors to pump water.

    Use fuel efficient cars and drive cars such that it runs at

optimum efficiency..like don;t run car too fast in highway which could increase air drag and engine takes more fuel to generate extra trust to overcome drag. Drive the car at appropriate "gear".

You can use alternate non-convectional energy sources also to save fossil fuel or to avoid fossil fuels.

Like, use Solar cooker (before using any cooker, analyze the

health-safety aspects as some materials used in cooking vessels can be harmful for health), Solar water heaters.

Use "safe" firewoods (its better as the C02 released can be

absorbed by plants due to carbon cycle..(need comments)

Bio-gas can also be tried.

Answer 4

Nuclear Power plants.  Diesel cars (they can get up to 30% or more fuel economy than same size gasoline engine).  Hydrogen fuel, diesel hybrids.  Cylinder shut-offs on engines and special transmissions.

Answer 5

Using cycle or walking. that means we  have to burn fuel in our body. it is good for health and nation.

Answer 6

I know I'm going to get a lot of laughs from this one, but I just purchased a buggy, and I have some horses being delivered soon :)  LOL. . . trust me, it will be the wave of the future.  Think about it. . . no gas. . . no insurance. . . no sales tax. . . no expensive repairs. . . Boy, I'm even more stoked seeing it in words :)

I also walk a lot and ride bikes also :)

Answer 7

wind, solor, hidro electic plants, and also static electic.

The  united  states could go with  trolly cars in  major cities  they run off of electic.  they're about the size of a  bus. and moved at about 35 mph    if the  cities used them instead of  buses that would  help a ton  and say you had enough of them in the  cities you wouldn't need cab's or  cars   for  distance  traveling   we could  update the train system prehaps bullet trains that travel to and  from the  major cities at 100 mph  this would take about  10 to fifteen years to  put in actual working order but it would improve mass transit and also elimiate  the amount of  cars needed and also limit cross country trucking

the Airplane world would also change if the trains  traveled faster say it  takes time and half  to travel on the train system then it does to fly   and that  trains   travel to all the cites that the airplanes now  travel to  at 1/4 the price. then you'd have less need for the  oil based fuels

wind power is  more then likely the best way to save on the house hold use of fosil fuels  but a lot of  towns have zoning codes  which restrice how high you can build.   if you had about 10 wind mills that were generating  electic you'd  pretty much have little to no need for  a out side source of power you could  have solor panels as well  in case it's not windy that day..  but if you  have high enough  wind mills this wouldn't be a problem   if you  remember  flying a  kite as a  kidd  the higher up you  got the more wind there is.

Answer 8

Hydrogen can be.It is already been started in canada

Answer 9

I like your question-it leaves much to the imagination. Alternative and Save are clear oxymorons. Save and Fuel are oxymorons. I'd ask- What alternatives to Fuel will allow us to save our means?

Answer 10

I'm really interested in the use of ethanol as a fossil fuel alternative.  In cars i guess you can use a hybrid machine.

Answer 11

There are inventions that would do away with the need for

any fuel driven vehicles,but they have been suppressed,and you can be sure the petroleum companies will do whatever is necessary,to ensure they will not be available to the world!

Answer 12

electric, hybrid, ethanol, biodiesel.

Answer 13

Alternative Means to save fuel:

-Hydrogen Fuel (It is abundance)

-Use Sail Power (16th Century Galleon)

-Use Solar Power (Not very useful at Night)

-Use Nuclear Power (A bit too risky)

-Biofuel such as Ethanol (Go Hunger Strike)

-Use Geothermal Energy (Steamy and Good for Sauna)

-Use Rubbish Power (A bit Stink and too low power)

-Use Water Power E.g Dams ( Destroy Environment)

From all this Choices, I will choose hydrogen coz it is abundance and burn cleanly.

Answer 14

Efficiency should be first.   Then using your vehicle less and maybe biking, walking or just planning your trips so you don't have to make so many.   Amtrak is getting to be almost the same price as driving, and is much more comfortable if you live in an area where it has regular service and is on time.
